3. The Truck Cinematic Was The First Scene Captured
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrOn5UPN8co Not only was it the first scene that was mo-capped for the game, but Ellie was originally supposed to say "how does she walk around with those things?" See, Bill's sexual orientation wasn't really known at the time, so the magazine Ellie picked up initially featured a woman with... let's just say "high-caliber ballistics". But as development continued, Druckmann thought more about the character of Bill and what he represented to the narrative, and came to the conclusion that If Joel is what happens when you're willing to risk everything you care about even if it means dooming the world, Bill's the flip side of that - he's cut himself off from the outside world entirely, but despite everything he tells Joel, he's still lost someone he cared about deeply. But what if Bill's partner was more than just a friend? With that in mind, Druckmann moulded Bill into the character we know today, and when the inconsistency of the truck scene was pointed out by one of the animators, it was reshot with new dialogue.
